Enjoying the cheers that were exclusive to him, Lou Cheng followed the path of glory to the arena unhurriedly. He stood in front of Mu Yu, who had "aged prematurely".
When the referee was about to raise his hand to announce the start of the fifth round, Lou Cheng suddenly smiled and looked at his opponent.
"Congratulations. You have hope of reaching the Dan stage."
Mu Yu was stunned for a few seconds. He asked blankly,
"You can tell?"
Lou Cheng had fought no less than ten Challenge Tournaments since he vaguely felt like he was withdrawing his supernatural ability. Perhaps it was because his supernatural ability was too eye-catching that it attracted most of the attention. No one had noticed it!
"I've always had a good eye," Lou Cheng answered calmly.
Seeing that Lou Cheng didn't mind giving Mu Yu more time to recover, the referee, who was weaker than him, didn't care and wasn't in a hurry to start the battle.
An Inhuman Stage fighter had enough control to not cause any serious damage to a fighter who hadn't reached the Dan stage or was only at Professional Seventh or Eighth Pin.
Hearing this, Mu Yu sighed and said, "That's right.
"It's all thanks to you."
"Why do you say that?" Lou Cheng asked with interest.
Last year's "comedy" was a wake-up call for him?
Mu Yu smiled bitterly and answered calmly, "Yes.
"In the past few years, my supernatural ability was too dazzling. Not only did it blind my enemies, but it also blinded myself. Although I didn't use it much so that it wouldn't backfire on my friends, I always regarded it as my biggest reliance and the most fundamental thing. I had strong confidence in it and spent most of my energy on how to improve it and weaken its backfire."
"It wasn't until I met you and was rebounded with 'misfortune' that I finally understood what it meant to be powerless. Only then did I truly wake up and strengthen my own training. Fortunately, it wasn't too late, and I barely managed to gain some results. However, whether I could reach the Dan stage is still up for debate. Hehe, it's funny to say that my supernatural ability actually improved because of this, breaking through my previous stagnation. It was completely out of my expectations …
Lou Cheng nodded slightly. "Before I reached the Dan stage, my master said something similar."
Mu Yu took a deep breath and turned his attention back to the match. He cupped his hands and said,
"Although I have no hope of winning, I still want to learn from you."
"Please!" Lou Cheng lowered his waist and sat down. He stretched out his left palm and got into a starting position. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
A year had passed, and everyone was no longer the same.
In the following battle, Mu Yu didn't use "Misfortune". Although his supernatural ability had become stronger thanks to the improvement of his own realm and strength, his opponent's improvement was even more ridiculous!
There was a huge gap between a prodigy and a beginner martial artist!
In the end, thanks to Lou Cheng's cooperation, he used all his skills except for his supernatural ability. He displayed all the Xingyi skills he had learned to the extreme. He almost felt like he had been tempered into steel by his opponent's fists.
After a moment of brilliance, he began to slide down. He took the initiative to stop and looked at Lou Cheng, who wasn't affected by him at all. He respectfully bowed and said,
"Thank you for your advice."
"I wouldn't dare," Lou Cheng replied with a smile.
The audience was quite disappointed. They had taken out their phones early on, wanting to record a "comedy". Unfortunately, Mu Yu knew his place and didn't let them do as they wished.
Amid the applause, Lou Cheng left the ring and saw Shu Rui standing in front of him.
"Hi, long time no see." The reporter girl with only one dimple smiled and waved her hand.
"Maybe it's because you jumped ship." Lou Cheng made a joke.
Shu Rui was calmer than she had been in the past two years. She smiled and said, "Actually, I have to thank you."
Oh, is today a collective thank you day? Mu Yu and now Shu Rui? Lou Cheng couldn't help but laugh and asked curiously,
"Why?"
"Didn't I do an exclusive interview and special program for you and the Martial Arts Club? As you and Lin Que become more and more famous, more and more people are looking for these resources. As for me, I'm not bad looking. Well, I'm not bad at all. I'm also good at martial arts. I've slowly accumulated some popularity and was spotted by the provincial TV station. I'm afraid I won't be a front-line reporter anymore in the future. If you're invited to any program, you have to do me a favor. "Shu Rui didn't change her self-esteem.
Good martial arts? Is it the ability to tell cold jokes with brother-in-law? Lou Cheng secretly ridiculed and replied in a good mood, "As long as I'm free."
Shu Rui nodded with satisfaction and turned to gossip. "I've been paying attention in the last two matches. Didn't your girlfriend come?"
"Does this count as an official interview?" Lou Cheng glanced at the cameraman beside Shu Rui.
"Not really. We haven't filmed it yet." Shu Rui looked at Lou Cheng with a smile and waited for his answer.
"Ke went to study in America." Lou Cheng answered concisely.
"America? Is it going to be winter break soon? "Shu Rui rolled her eyes and pondered.
She had considered studying abroad and had collected a lot of information. She had some understanding of this.
"Yes, it'll be a week before Christmas. It'll be four weeks in total." Lou Cheng didn't hide his joy.
However, after Ke came back, she had to stay at her grandparents' house for a few days in Zhengque and Jiangnan's grandparents' house for a few days. She had to accompany her father-in-law and mother-in-law, and she had to keep in touch with her best friends. She didn't really have much time alone with him. After all, she had to participate in the Prefectural Competition here. She couldn't stay in Songcheng all the time. Yeah, it's okay. I can go back to Xiushan on Monday and Songcheng on Friday. I can be a not-so-competent coach. They've already gotten used to Coach Lou's absence, just like how Smith is used to my presence.
Just as he was thinking about this topic, Shu Rui suddenly exhaled and said with emotion, "If it weren't for you, I would feel that Songcheng University Martial Arts Club has become unfamiliar. Compared to last year at this time, half of the members have left, right? Coach Shi, Lin Que … Oh right, how's Lin Que's injury? I don't see any news on the Internet. "
"He started recovery training in August and recovered in November. He should be at the level of a Strong Six now." Lou Cheng answered honestly. This was all information he got from Ke.
As teammates and relatives who had fought side by side, he had actually called to show concern for his brother-in-law. However, the whole process was very awkward. He was racking his brains to find a topic to talk about and only answered with "Yes", "Yes", "Yes", and so on. The more Lou Cheng talked, the less confident he became. He had no choice but to hang up in a hurry.
In this regard, Yan Zheke's words soothed his "wounds".
"My brother is already treating you as a friend by listening to you ramble on for a minute and not directly saying goodbye!"
After hearing Lou Cheng's description, Shu Rui smiled and said, "That's good. I'm happy that everyone is getting better."
Reporter Shu, you don't feel right. You're a bit of a hipster … However, this has nothing to do with me … Lou Cheng pointed to his teammates. "Let's do the official interview. They're all waiting."
"Okay." Shu Rui changed the topic to the new University Martial Arts Competitions. "This year, the strong and the weak are too obvious. The other contestants can only look up to you guys at the Inhuman stage. However, it's not without suspense. For example, you guys will definitely meet Shanbei in the top four round-robin of the division competition. Are you ready to fight with Peng Leyun before the national competition?"
"Uh, it depends." Lou Cheng didn't dare to say with certainty.
Since the breakthrough of the Ice Mirror, his martial arts strength had taken a big leap forward. However, the improvement had been very slow. Even he, who had experienced the speed of a tortoise from a Quasi-Six to an Inhuman stage, almost couldn't adapt. Compared to now, he could be called a high-speed train.
After more than two months, he had only become slightly stronger. According to the data, except for the freaks like the Living Buddha and the Warrior Sage, most of the Mighty Ones with physical invulnerability were in a similar state when they were at the Inhuman stage. Therefore, the earlier he reached the High Pin and the more time he had to reach the Physical Invulnerability stage, the higher his chances.
Well, I feel like I haven't settled down enough …
…
While Shu Rui was interviewing Lou Cheng, the Shannan University team returned to the locker room after a short post-match interview.
Lin Xiaozhi carefully entered the bathroom. She took off her clothes and all her protective items, leaving only the collarbone necklace on her neck.
She turned the tap to release hot water. While waiting for the temperature to rise, she held the Sky Shattering Hou pendant with Lou Cheng's name engraved on it in one hand and put her hands together in front of her, chanting.
After the ceremony, the temperature of the water was just right. She walked under the shower and felt her body instinctively relax.
After a while of fear, Lin Xiaozhi finished the shower without any mishap. Just as she was about to put on her clothes and go out, she suddenly heard the sound of footsteps and Jin Dali's shout from the opposite side.
"What's wrong?" Lin Xiaozhi raised her voice and asked.
"Nothing, I just did a split …" Jin Dali replied with annoyance.
"Poor thing …" Lin Xiaozhi nodded her head sadly and covered her mouth to show sympathy. After a few seconds, she finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Believe in Lou Cheng, avoid bad luck!
Whoever uses it knows!
…
After that, Songcheng University's journey was smooth sailing and they advanced triumphantly. Under Yan Zheke's witness, they once again entered the top four round-robin. Their first opponent was the Shanbei University Martial Arts Club.
On Christmas afternoon, Lou Cheng, who was pretending to be a couple but actually a couple, suddenly felt his phone vibrate. He picked it up and saw that it was from Priest.
"Peng Leyun …" Lou Cheng whispered to Yan Zheke, then picked up the phone. "Hey, Priest, how come you're free to call me?"
Peng Leyun smiled. "I just wanted to let you know that I probably won't be in the next match. We'll fight again in April next year."
"To settle down?" Lou Cheng asked thoughtfully.
"Aren't you there too?" Peng Leyun replied leisurely.
After that, both of them laughed at the same time. They had a tacit understanding.
Peng Leyun hadn't fought since the King of Youth Pro League. Lou Cheng, on the other hand, had only played two games of guiding chess since the end of the two unknown actual matches in America.
After putting down the phone, he was about to tell Yan Zheke about what had just happened when he suddenly received a message from the military contact, Rapid March.
"There's progress on the Wholeness Formula."
